[oXygen-user] Table formatting: style attribute

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Michael,

We (the Oxygen XML developers) are not very familiar with the JATS format.

Oxygen uses CSS to render the JATS content in the Author visual editing 
mode. If for example you open the CSS 
"OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks/jats/lib/author-css/authoring-extension.css" 
CSS and add this selector to it:

> *[style]{
>     -oxy-style:attr(style);
> }
then save your CSS and re-open your JATS file, Oxygen's visual editing 
should interpret the small CSS snippet value from any element which has 
a "style" attribute.

But is this correct according to the standard?

The value of the @style attribute seems in the standard to indicate more 
a style name which should indicate the styling.
